Work 1965

"Work" (1965) by Jiro Yoshihara is a minimalist artwork characterized by a bold, black circle painted on a white background. The single, gestural stroke embodies the principles of Mono-ha, an artistic movement that emphasizes the inherent qualities of materials and their relationship to space. Yoshihara's use of black ink on a large canvas evokes a sense of both simplicity and profoundness, reflecting the philosophy of Zen Buddhism, a key influence on his work.
